DENVER - When we last
checked in with Ty Lawson
at the Pepsi Center, Nov. 15
against the Miami Heat on
national television, his scor´
ing output in 36 minutes
equaled the same as it would
have had he not played at all
- zero.

If that sounds snarky, it
didn't match the abuse Law´
son heaped upon himself. He
immediately headed to the
team's practice court follow´
ing the five-point loss to Mi´
ami for a one-hour session in
which he hoped would serve
as reaffirmation his shot
hadn't deserted him.

Lawson's redemption tour
continued Friday night with
a strong performance in the
Nuggets' 102-91 win over the
Golden State Warriors. It was
Denver's third straight victo´
ry and got the Nuggets over
the .500 mark again (7-6)
with another

Lawson was one of several
Nuggets to play outstanding
second halves against a War´
riors squad that led 53-47
after 24 minutes. The Nug´

15-0 run to open the third

quarter, and never trailed
again. Andre Iguodala had
the best game of any in white
and powder blue, entering
the final 2:53 with 28 points.

Lawson finished with 18
points and nine assists in 37
minutes. He found Iguodala
with comfort-zone passing in
a third quarter in which the
Nuggets outscored Golden
State 31-17.

It's a good thing the Nug´
gets shot OK from the floor,
because they sure didn't
from the free-throw line.

Denver entered the final min´
ute just 16-28 from the line.

Before the game, Lawson
said "I feel like I'm getting
some good rhythm back. It's
good to be back home again,
back in our locker room
again. We finished up with a
couple of good road games
and now we just want to get
something established at
home."

The Nuggets did so. Dani´
lo Gallinari added 20 points
for the Nuggets, and backup
center JaVale McGee gave
some good energy to the
large crowd with a pair of
monster dunks in the fourth
quarter.
